He is the governor of that state and he's weighing whether to get into the already crowded 2016 presidential field.Fri, 05 Jun 2015 21:07:00 +0000Don Gonyea116923 at http://wamc.orgQ&A: Ohio Gov. John Kasich. He Does It His Wayhttp://wamc.org/post/qa-ohio-gov-john-kasich-he-does-it-his-way
The latest name to make serious noise about a 2016 White House bid is the Republican governor of a state long been considered a key to GOP chances of winning the presidency — Ohio.<p>John Kasich, 63, a former congressman and one-time chairman of the House Budget Committee, has just begun his second term as governor. His first four years began in confrontational fashion. Like Wisconsin, where Gov. Scott Walker also took on public-employee unions, the move in Ohio prompted massive protests. Ohio's law went even further than Wisconsin's in that it did not exempt police and firefighter unions.Fri, 05 Jun 2015 12:32:00 +0000Don Gonyea116873 at http://wamc.orgQ&A: Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

Evangelical voters are a major force in Iowa Republican politics. A force that can tip the balance in the state's marquee event: the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses.<p>And it's been that way for a long time. Sixteen years ago those voters delivered in a big way for a Texas governor named George W. Bush. But it's not likely that the younger brother of that successful presidential hopeful will get that same kind of support in the 2016 election. Jeb Bush is certainly a deeply religious man — and he shares his brother's conservative views on key social issues.Wed, 03 Jun 2015 09:03:00 +0000Don Gonyea116729 at http://wamc.orgWhy Jeb Bush Can't Bank On Faith Like His Brother DidGOP Presidential Race Revs Its Motors At Iowa Dinnerhttp://wamc.org/post/gop-presidential-race-revs-its-motors-iowa-dinner
